Candidate

The Profile

Candidate are a British indie/folk band known for warm acoustic textures and psychedelic-tinged atmospheres, releasing acclaimed records in the early 2000s.

Discography highlights include Taking on the Enemy's Sound (2000), Nuada (2002) and Under The Skylon (2005).

One ecstatic review celebrates Candidate’s Nuada with sun-drenched, ritual-like imagery and a gentle sense of suspended menace. The writing highlights a ‘pure folkie’ core refracted through psychedelia. Overall tone is dreamy and reverent, awarding a top rating.
